A selection of white and red Woodlands wines were paired with kusahige by Ginza Rokukakutei during the exclusive lunch tasting session 2016 in particular saw an enormous amount of rain which allowed the fruit in the Woodlands “Chloe” plot, named after Andrew’s niece (i.e. his brother Stuart’s daughter), to dry rapidly under a southerly breeze. With soil taking up the rain and less water stress, brighter wines with great balance were produced. Personally, to Andrew, it also marks the year that saw not only some of his favourite vintages being produced, but also the birth of his daughter.
